I thought talking a bit about Sew Red for Women was perfect for a Sunday morning. Leah of Burgundy Buttons has organized a Block of the Month blog hop to draw attention to heart disease, and I'm very happy to be participating. Heart health is something she feels passionately about, and something that each one of us should think about more than we probably do. So, grab your walking or running shoes an extra time this week, strengthen your heart, and head over to Leah's blog THIS FRIDAY for the first block! (The button will be on my sidebar all year in case you forget where to look! For more information from Leah, keep reading below!Final details on the Sew Red Blog Hop are in!
What is the hop about?
Well, it's about hopping! And raising awareness about heart disease!
Each month, Sew Red for Women will feature an original quilt block designed ecspecially for you by some of today's most inspiring designers & bloggers. We will provide a special link to hop on over to the blogger and/or designer's site for details and instructions for completing the featured block. And you just might learn a thing or two about heart disease while you're there!
The hopping begins on February 3rd, which happens to be Wear Red Day!

What fabric are we using?

As the blocks are released, Burgundy Buttons will offer a block-specific fabric pack for purchase while supplies last.
Will there be a flickr group?

I like those colors. I have a layer cake I bought with most of those shown and have been working on some Hot Pads for my wife today out of them.
